Watching Monk for the first time. Laughed in the very first minute!

Tweet

I had a long sleep. Which is good. But soon as I woke I felt sick. It really gets me down. I'm very tired of feeling this way. In fact, I still feel tired as if I didn't sleep much but I know I did. I fell asleep yesterday afternoon around 4pm and woke at 2am this morning. I also have a sore-dry throat with a cough so I don't know what that's all about. I had a viral infection recently but was given the clear not all the long ago. *shrugs* I don't know anymore. Maybe the sore-dry throat is from the Endoscopy? Or maybe I'm getting a cold now? I don't know. It's frustrating and depressing really. I haven't felt "my normal" in over 6 months. But I decided to just take it easy today. I want to MyLot mostly. But felt like watching something new and I remembered I saw Monk on Netflix. I have always wanted to watch it. I had always heard if was funny but I am curious how much I can relate to the character as he suffers with OCD. I just put it on and within the first minute he said something that made me laugh as well as feeling I could relate. This isn't a spoiler but obviously if you prefer not to know then I understand you not reading ahead. But very first scene, Monk is standing in a crime scene. He looks up and says "The stove." As if he was having a moment of knowing what happened in this crime scene. Another cop(?) was like "Over here. It's in the kitchen." Then Monk was like "No, I mean my stove. I think I left it on." I laughed so much because it was not the time or place but that's how OCD can be. These intrusive thoughts take over out of nowhere and they are hard to shake off. But I thought this was a brilliant way to introduce the Monk character. I'm at a part now where he is in therapy and there's a pillow out of place on the lounge and it's bothering him. Again, I can so relate. There's been many times walking in a grocery store where I see items upside down or backwards and I fix it. Just makes me feel better. Have you seen Monk? Please don't tell me anything though because this is literally my first time watching it.
